The results of a complex study of the semiconductor thermometric material TiСo1-xMnxSb, х=0.01–0.10, for the producing of sensitive elements of thermoelectric and electro resistive sensors are presented. Microprobe analysis of the concentration of atoms on the surface of TiСo1-xMnxSb samples established their correspondence to the initial compositions of the charge, and X-ray phase analysis showed the absence of traces of extraneous phases on their diffractograms.

The electron energy state, magnetic and transport characteristics of of thermometric materials Zr1-xCexNiSn were investigated in the T = 80 ¸ 400 K temperature range and at charge carriers concentration from x=0.01÷0.10 and H £ 10 kGs. The material Zr1-xCexNiSn is sensitive to the temperature change and could be used as the basis for the sensitive thermoelectric devices. We investigated the crystal structure, electron density of states (DOS) and the kinetic and energy characteristics of n-ZrNiSn heavily doped with the Ce impurity.

Geometrical and electronic structure of clinoptilolite clusters modified by zinc and calcium cations were calculated by semiempirical quantum-chemical method PM6. The value of formation heat, potentials of ionization, EHOMO and ELUMO energies, cations and oxygen atoms charges, and also binding energy of cations with the cluster were obtained. The redistribution of electronic density on the oxygen atoms of clusters during formation of bonds with zinc and calcium cations was analyzed. The ability of modified clinoptilolite clusters to sorb the hydrogen ions has been estimated.
